Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, found primarily in cold water fish, have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac death. They can also be taken in the form of supplements. Saturated fats should be no more than 10 of daily calories, but a healthy diet should include 20 to 35 of calories from fat. Fat substitutes may be a good idea, but they are not the best way to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Answer to Question 2

D
A high intake of dietary fiber helps reduce the risk of diverticular disease, constipation, and co-lon cancer. Fiber intake is not related to risk of hip fracture, hypertension, or dementia.
